Rainbow over NYC II

Here is another piece of the New York City rainbow!

Rainbow Over NYC

Last Thursday, after an oppressively hot day, there was a brief thunderstorm. Looking out the window after, I was amazed to see a beautiful rainbow arching over New York City! I took a quick photo and then created the piece below.

Looking Forward to Spring II

Looking Forward to Spring

Rainy Sunday

Today it has been raining heavily. It was a perfect day to appreciate the warmth and coziness of your home and enjoy some hot tea and a book. Let's hope all this March rain brings lots of spring flowers!

My Studio in the Morning

Snow on the Great Lawn

After the most recent snowfall in New York City, I walked through Central Park to the Great Lawn. The snow looked like an inviting down blanket covering the lawn. The trees danced in the background with their barren branches. The midtown skyscrapers sparkled in the morning sunlight. The entire scene was so peaceful and wintery.

Snowman

New York City received a light dusting of snow today. It reminded me of all the snowmen dotting Central Park after the blizzard.

Empire State from Northern Manhattan

Empire State in Winter

There is a spot on the Great Hill in Central Park where it looks as if the Empire State building is peeking through the treetops. Here is my interpretation.

View from My Window, 2010

This is another piece in the "Six Views of the Empire State" series. I've made this scene in both collage and watercolor several times now and it always gives me a new perspective to revisit it.

Central Park in Fall

This is the second piece in my "Six Views of the Empire State" series. I love all the warm colors that blanket Central Park in the fall. Best wishes to everyone for a happy Thanksgiving!

Empire State from the Hudson

I'm working on a new series called "Six Views of the Empire State", as in the Empire State building. This is the first piece which shows the view of the Empire State from the Hudson River with the Hudson River Greenway in the foreground. It's a lovely bike ride on a summer day and is beautifully landscaped as you reach lower Manhattan. Stay tuned for more pieces in the series ... !  

Pomegranate

At many fruit markets in New York City, vendors will cut open a pomegranate to display the shiny, jewel-like seeds inside. I never knew before what a pomegranate looked like or that such an oddly shaped, lumpy fruit could contain such beautiful surprises inside!

Snow Falling over NYC

Thankfully, there is no snow falling over NYC ... yet! Here's a sneak peak at my newest work for my 2010 holiday collection. Stay tuned for more!

Summer's Bounty

I really enjoyed creating this piece! I wanted to showcase the bounty of fruits and vegetables available in late summer. What better way then on display in a modern, sun-drenched apartment!

Goldfish

At the pond in Central Park near 103rd street, I often see goldfish swimming. When the water is relatively clear, it is fun to watch the fish dart around. I created this piece using gouache-painted and origami paper.
